What Are Your 2008 Activist Resolutions?

Have Fun - Do Good

I recently finished reading A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide by Samantha Power.

Interview with Zainab Salbi, Founder of Women for Women International

Have Fun - Do Good

I was thrilled when Zainab Salbi, Women for Women International's Founder and CEO, agreed to an interview with me for the Big Vision Podcast.

The Global Fund for Women: An Interview with Kavita Ramdas

Have Fun - Do Good

I had the opportunity to interview her on March 6th for the Big Vision Podcast, and have included an edited transcript of the interview below. If you compare that to the budgets that we spend in just one day on fighting a war in Iraq, or the cost of an F16 fighter jet, you get some sense of how inordinately skewed those are.
